Monday's Menu

Last week, I got a craving for some cheesy alfredo noodles. So I checked to see if there might be a good knockoff recipe of one of my favorite restaurant's dishes. Alas, there was none.

I did, however, have a jar of alfredo sauce in the pantry. So I did a
little experimenting. Everyone seemed to like it quite well.

Canned alfredo sauce is always a little bland in my opinion so I made sure to add some pepper and oregano. But I had a light touch and I think it could have used a little more. No one else seemed to mind it though. One definite indication that it was hit: Hubby took some leftover to work for his lunch the next day. Even Rugrat seemed to be happy to have it two days in a row.

You could, of course, make your own alfredo sauce which would probably be more tasty too. That's not a recipe I have quite mastered yet though. You can also pump this up or down by adding other favorite things. One thought I had was pepperoni. And definitely a few more spices. You could also try things like mushrooms or bell peppers.

Have fun with it.
